Kirk's Pick

Who? Miss Quincy & The Showdown and Liz Stringer
Where? The WISE Hall
When? Wednesday June 20
Why? Miss Quincy &  The Showdown is celebrating their new single, and Australian Liz Stringer is joining them! And Fun Fact: the rhythm section for Liz is the same one Miss Quincy uses when she tours Australia, and I hear there may be some shenanigans...!

Why? If you missed them in March and are kicking yourself, or if you saw them in March and want more, head to the Biltmore on Tuesday! Their album Dazzle Camouflage is spectacular, as is their live show.

Artist of the Week: Matthew & Jill Barber

in ,

This week's Artist of the Week is a double-bill, some of Canada's sweethearts from the same incredibly talented gene-pool: siblings Matthew & Jill Barber.

Hopefully some new recorded music from these two is coming down the pipes, as only a few old live YouTube videos are kicking around, even thought they play together now and again around Canada. Matthew Barber's folk music is packaged up nicely in Big Romance, his latest (of 7) album that came out a year ago and broke into CBC's R2 Top 20 with the built-up ballad "Lose your Love." Jill makes singing old-timey country, jazz, French love ditties and everything in beween look effortless, and together they are a mezmerising duo. You won't want to miss them at this year's Vancouver Folk Music Festival! See them perform at:
